My new lure board....
Ben Crarer:
Nice porn mate ;)
Andrew Susani:
That is a great collection :o I like the one in the bottom right corner, it clearly stands out from the rest ;D have you caught anything on it?
Also, have you done any good with the Adhek Ocean Lady garfish imitations? I bought one in Singapore recently for novelty value, as it looked like a hilarious flutefish imitation, but now I am keen to launch it across some local Spanish Mackerel territory later in the year.
Ken Best:
Good idea Mark, looks great.
Brandon, I reckon you would have more than a few lures in your collection. :o

The cute little thing in bottom right corner is an Adhek prototype from about 2 years ago. It is called Fish Nut, weighs about 80 grams and is designed to be fished with a single off the back. It casts well for something so light (very dense) and works very nicely with a soft chugging stroke. The drawback is that any sizeable GT could easily swallow it whole - not great. That's the main reason it did not make it to market I think.
On Ocean Lady - love this lure. It has to be longest GT lure I have used. Does a good fleeing Long Tom impression and where GTs feed on those, it has proved a very effective lure. I have had some nice 30 kg class GTs on this lure and know of one 55 kg fish caught with it. Adhek himself works it with an almost imperceptible up-twitch or a straight retrieve. Not sure I would waste it on Mackerel though!
Jarrad Heritage:
Great collection Mark,
Have you got bite marks in that special Nemo Gamma yet?
Regards,
Jarrad
